My favorite so far is Columbina and Pucinella. They aren't looking obvious in terms of personality and looks, but they are hiding something behind their demeanor. They get the "Once you see me Smile. You are already in my Grasp." kind with Columbina. Pucinella, while cruel, has like Standard and may be swayed by the Traveler's Exploits. Plus a Mayor? That is gonna be very interesting.

AS far as this video goes, I think there are 3 main divisions in the fatui harbingers. 1. Political division - Pierro, of course, being their leader and a very close relationship with the Tsaritsa - Pulcinella, uhm, he's called the Mayor - Pantalone, about money, economics, and relational sways - Signora, she's a Szechnayan Diplomat 2. Experimentation/Science Division - Dottore, the Doctor - Sandrone, all about machines - Scaramouche, being someone whose powers were presumably unlocked by Dottore, it makes sense that he would work on the same division. It seems that he collects intel, just like in ver1.1 event. He an intel-gatherer for the science division 3. Military - Capitano, maybe in charge of a military unit? - Tartaglia, he loves battle sooo... - Columbina, probably the Harbinger's secret ace. Also, she can be a military tactician because you said she is supposedly the smartest in the Comedia - Arlecchino, as fucked up as it is, she runs the orphanage that houses the orphans that will serve the military

[@draconinja2728]

I wonder how Dain thinks of Pierro and vice versa. Given that they were both top ranking people in khaenri'ah society (albeit Pierro was not on the level of the sages), they likely were aware of each other's existence at the very least. It will be interesting to see how and why they ended up on such different paths as well.

[@davidxencaster6406]

It would be amazing if the Snezhaya chapter has Dain and Pierro get pitted against one another due to ideological differences, especially since Pierro’s endgame against Celestia is no different to what caused Khaenri’ah’s demise.

[@Minamiii-e7y]

I hope Dain,Rhinedottir and Pierro meet and actually interact and tell us more about Khanriah. Also the fact that out of a nation of billions of people only 4 people survived makes me think that the archons made sure to not cut corners at a whole races genocide. Its possible that if a archon found out that a khanrian survived they may think that they need to kill them just incase for their nation

People were joking about Pantalone being Dark-mode Baizhu, but I have been wondering if they may actually be brothers. I know there is a theory that Pantalone is from Liyue and their visual similarities are astounding. And if Baizhu turned out to be his sickly brother who received a Vision, I could see that adding fuel to Pantalone’s anger at the Divine. Of course, we need more information to confirm or deny that, but I think it would be an interesting theory to keep in mind for when we get more information on the Regrator.

[@ellek7074]

also pantalone and baizhu are both very greedy about money like baizhu once asken 3 million for a medicene

[@dr_titania]

Dottore is the one who fix his body so it makes sense.

[@katoneren3471]

My theory is, since Pantalone never goes outside of Sneznaya (he's working at Northland Bank), Pierro is Tsaritsa's right-hand man (The Jester), and Pulcinella is the one who will take the throne (I expect a betrayal, since in the trailer he's shown sitting on the throne) we will fight them in Sneznaya, Sandrone looks like we're gonna fight her in Fontaine judging from her and her robot/ruin guard's outfits. We will probably meet or fight Il Dotorre or probably and Scaramouche in Sumeru, which has been revealed by the trailer. We will fight Arlecchino or Capitano in Natlan probably. I honestly don't know when will we fight the Damsette. I don't know how mihoyo can fit those harbingers into the last 4 regions. They were all just a theory. Note patch 3.1 : My theory was correct, we're gonna fight and meet Scaramouche and Dottorre in Sumeru

[@lsaacthecraftsman]

I’d swap Columbina with Capitano for Natlan. Capitano is supposedly the second strongest behind Pierro if it goes with what Childe says. Both are insanely dangerous but I can’t help but think Capitano hides a bigger twist than Columbina ( he could be Imunlaukr ) Pantalone I expect will be in a major event in Liyue starring Yelan, Ningguang, Baizhu, Zhongli and will probably have his boss fight to conclude most of these characters storylines. Sandrone for Fontaine 100% can confirm and boy do I hope her playable leak turns out true. Arlecchino is kinda a wild card I don’t know outside from the second Harbinger in Natlan where she could go. And I expect some harbingers (traitors) to be fought after Snezhnaya like Pierro or whoever has no place in the previous chapter

[@madorisolomon6440]

Pantalone strikes me as the type of person who appears charming and kind on the surface level but will then turn around and slit your throat if it benefits him. I don't think Arlechino's orphanage is a product of her "kindness" especially after what Childe had to say about her. It sounds like the orphanage is more of a child soldier type operation. I find Dottore to be the scariest one. Based on what I've heard about him from other videos and the Manga he seems to completely lack humanity/compassion. And the fact that there are multiple versions of him running around makes him near impossible to beat. Pulchinella is definitely not kind to Childe and his family out of the kindness of his heart. He seems to have alterior motives. I love capitano's design. He strikes me as the obedient soldier who follows orders to a T. Pierro is 100% from Khanria. I wonder if he has ties to Kaeya and Dain. Colombina kinda gives me the same vibes as Pantalone. Charming on the outside but secretly a snake. Sandrone I wasn't particularly interested in her in the trailer but she seems like the sadistic type. I have a soft spot for Childe and I find his backstory fascinating. I've always liked the battle hungry type of characters and he offers a sort of contrast to the other harbingers. Even it the trailer the color and style of his outfit seemed to contrast everyone else. Scaramouch is pretty ballsy to steal the gnosis from the tsaritsa. I wish we could've seen him is his harbinger getup like childe. Definitely think Signora is dead dead. (Please ignore my terrible spelling of their names lol)

[@lloveanna]

RIGHTT

[@dingusbigus9629]

Fr when you think about it, Tsaritsa's ultimate goal is probably taking down Celestia because it is the biggest threat in Teyvat but the methods that harbingers are using harms the innocent people of Teyvat. Like Childe tried to summon a fking god that could have destroyed Liyue and Scaramouche gave delusions to people without telling the consequences of using it. Perhaps Tsaritsa doesn't know the way harbingers work or she does know all these and makes a temporary chaos in Teyvat while believing that it will all be worth it once they take Celestia down and achieve peace.

[@dr_titania]

Maybe Tsaritsa was aware to it. This is her line from Shivada Jade gemstone: "Sorry... to also have you shoulder the grievances of the world. "Since you could endure my bitter cold, you must have the desire to burn? "Then, burn away the old world for me." Pierro also mentioned about old world. So, maybe aside from destroying Celestia they also plan to destroy Teyvalt.

[@katoneren3471]

If you look at the genshin impact regions trailer, you'll see Pulcinella sitting on the supposedly Tsaritsa's throne.

My speculation of Pierro saying that Signora's final resting place will be entirety of the old world... is that his intentions are to bring massive change to the world, and the old world will be destroyed... the old world where dear Rosalyne perished, her final resting place... that of the past. His promise to Rosalyne is to accomplish their mission without her, and he will strive to make them happen even if he now has to do it in her absence. Very poetic, but I feel that's what he meant. On the Pantalone part, watch Pantalone not have a vision but has super natural strength or can manipulate one or many elements without a vision... it would be a pretty good twist... or just uses a delusion instead, and that's good enough for him. Remember that people like Shenhe have super human strength, which may or may not have to do at all with her vision. There's also La Signora, the Crimson Witch of Flame, which her Crimson Witch pyro power, as far as I'm aware... does not come from harnessing a vision, but that she can naturally manipulate/produce Pyro elemental energy without a vision. Just like there's creatures that produce elemental energy like Slimes, who is to say that Humans/Humanoids can't produce without elemental energy without a vision. The game has given us examples of multiple unique existences... why not more? Lesser spirits and gods, besides Archons... not all of them use visions either.

I find it super interesting that the Fatui symbol is the same symbol you see in the Theatre of Domination in Honkai Impact, as well as the symbol on Capitano’s helmet being present on the body of the Herrscher of Dominance.

[@gunturcokrohadi1009]

Probably because he is the one most likely leader of the "army" aspect of the fatui. Dominence is pretty accurate imo.

[@AFKay-sv1dl]

Speaking of Fatui symbols, you can also see 8 point star that abyss order use. It's on the banners, floor and casket in the trailer and cryo mages have it on top of thier head (It doesn't look like cryo symbol). It's Khaenri'ah symbol and it make sense that Pierro would use it, but it really makes me question if he is using the Tsaritsa for his own goals

[@burningpapersun1]

I love all of the speculation about the harbingers since this trailer drop came out of absolutely no where. Im glad they gave us a visual of all of the harbingers as well so we can have a visual of the force we are fighting against. Now it's not some esoteric sense of what we are fighting against or beside by the end.

[@tainovak1956]

The Capitano’s mask reminds me of the Nazgûl King from LOTR. The hollow helmet really pulls it together

[@clairdeloona]

i have an idea that the reason sandrone/marionette hates childe is bc she sees no reason for him to be a harbinger. between all the harbingers, he brings the least to the table. He’s just a kid from snezhnaya who mistakenly stumbled upon abyssal power and is good at beating things up. maybe sandrone wants him out and doesn’t believe he deserves the spot, even if he is the bottom rank.

[@juanmarine6566]

I actually think that the fatui are not ranked by strength in battle or physical strength, more like usefulness, influence, reliability and the power to manipulate others, that's why pantalone that doesn't have a vision is ranked higher than tartaglia, because he contributes more to the fatui than Childe who only brings to the table his fighting skills, I still believe that the top 3 (pierro, Capitano and columbina I think) are the strongest in battle and the most useful as well, but the others strength comes from what they bring to the table to the fatui.

[@cybertronproductions-yw4yz]

I've theorized with my friend about how the potential alliance with the Fatui may come in the future when we we start facing against both Celestia and the Abyss Order. But with this I think the most playable ones in the fatui will be Columbina, Sandrone, Capitano, And Arlecchino. And while they're is some bias in there I don't want Columbina to die because if she does have some relation to Celestia her knowledge about them will be Invauleable in the years to come. Sandrone has been rumored to have a very Yandere personality so it could be that she might be impressed with our strength and wish to make us one of her "Puppets". Capitano seems to be a man of integrity and honor but still determined to finish what she started, that said I can see us fighting him and earning his respect through our strength. Arlecchino is most likely the best candidate for playability as I don't think she is inherently evil, in fact I believe her to be the most sympathetic as she may hold the orphens dear to her and owes her loyalty to the children who need a protector not the Tsaritsa though I can still her holding a grude on us playing a part in La Singora's death but again there is still hope.

This raised some amazing questions for my own theory. My theory was/is that the fatui and abyss are working together but even the harbingers aren’t aware of it.

[@Merritt_Maverick]

The damsalette kind of creeps me out tbh. But out of all the harbingers, I want her to be playable the most. Childe says she is apparently really strong (even though he doesn't know why she is place so high among the 11 harbingers), and for some reason, I can see her having a really interesting kit. She interests me the most out of all the harbingers.

Damn I had a bit of a brain fart regarding Columbina. Setting the obvious aside: 1. She's named after the lore behind the Columbina constellation - the dove that was sent out to search for life after the Great Flood (Noah's Ark/Teyvat Noah). 2. In Commedia Dell'arte, Columbina is known to be the only functioning intellectual on stage. I think that she is not only smart, but she knows something/is capable of something that others are not (which is why even Tartaglia fears her). 3. The seraphim symbolism + the red/pink streaks she has might allude to her being a pyro user. 4. It is said that a Seraph guards the gates to the Garden of Eden. Given that she was the one having the dialogue with Dottore at the final scene with the burning tree... could it be that there is a version of the Garden of Eden somewhere in Teyvat? Could it have ties to Sumeru? Was the tree that burned in that scene the Tree of Knowledge within the Garden of Eden? 5. This is a stretch (connecting points 1,2, and 4), but I wonder if she could be tied to OG Celestia by any chance... or maybe some fragment of power that's from the ancient civilization.

[@Fallensnowch]

I suspected that the reason why Sandrome, the Marionette is so angry at Childe was because in Childe's story quest, with teucer, he destroyed the many ruin guards in the factory Dottorre threw away. Maybe the factory now belonged to her considering she's seems like to mess around with machines and she pissed off that Childe basically trashed all of them. The theory is backed up with the idea that why would a abandoned factory still function properly for so long and is producing ruins guards.

[@novinovi-]

I low key want this connection to go full circle, It would be horrifying but also in character for her to turn tuecer into an android just to piss off childe. She does seem to hate him after all, and tuecer was the reason childe destroyed a bunch of her precious machines. Idk I just like the idea.

why no one mentions about tartaglia saying that he is ranked too low in fatui harbinger thus capitano does not recognise him? Because i feel like based on what childe just said, capitano might be a high rank fatui harbinger. Since we does not know his actual rank yet, i think childe voicelines explain that he is quite high in ranking. What do u guys think about this?

At first, I had always thought that Childe's Foul Legacy was part of his Dilusion and was surprised to found out that it wasn’t the case, thanks to this video. This makes me wonder if *THATS* the full potential of a vision. As a lot of people know, Visions are signs that a person has met a criteria that a Archon values and has the possibility of ascending to Celestia to become a god. An good exemple of this is Vanessa, who is know to be one of the few people who’ve been able to ascend to Celestia. Since Childe was train in the Abyss by Skirk for 3 months, it made sense that the Abyss affected him and his vision later on, which brings out another possibility. The Nation that was destroyed 500 years ago was strong enough to have killed Makoto, who was the previous Electro Archon at the time and I wouldn’t doubt that the Abyss would be able to temper with a Vision made by Celestia (it would be child’s play to them, no pun attended). Plus, the Fatui have Pierro, who we can probably all agree that he’s from Khaenri'ah. Since he’s from there, he could potentially have felt that Child had been in the Abyss for some time. He also could have help him somewhat master that abyssal energy in some degree that make him unlock the Foul Legacy form. Tartaglia is always seen as a meme and as the Edd Sheran lookalike in the Genshin Impact Fandom. But this information makes him even more interesting and mysterious in my opinion. We may think we know everything about him, but we could also be completely wrong about that.

[@dr_titania]

Just my theory but I think Tsaritsa is aware to the evil deeds of Fatui. This is her line in Shivada Jade gemstone: "Sorry... to also have you shoulder the grievances of the world. "Since you could endure my bitter cold, you must have the desire to burn? "Then, burn away the old world for me." Maybe aside from destroying Celestia they also plan to destroy Teyvalt.

[@cydiesoriano7528]

About what Il Dottore says at the end. It’s mentioned by another harbinger: “what happened the section of the prime of his life?” Something like that. I believe that either Collei has a part of Dottore in her, or the Dottore in the Harbinger Trailer is not the “core” Dottore, but a fraction of him. As mentioned by Tartaglia, Dottore split himself up and made prostheses out of each of them. Collei comes form a Fatui experiment which is why she has the “black fire” snake-thing in the manga. What if, the “black fire” is part of/from Dottore’s delusion? We know Childe’ delusion turns him into some weird black magic abyssal-thing that is the foul legacy form, and rosalyne has her crimson witch of flames form, so what if dottore has something similar? The fact that Dottore refers to whoever “he” is as a “he” (“he’s busy with a little experiment on blasphemy”) then cutting immediately to Collei (who’s referred to as a she) is also a bit suspicious to me. I know there are holes, but I just wanted to bring up this weird thing I noticed :))

So when getting a character they need a redemption of some kind so they can be playable and just thought that if dottore were to become playable, I believe his redemption is that the dottore who did the experiments on collei is one of his clones thus giving him sort of a reason why he can be friends with the traveler. It would also explain why the og dottore would ever have a vision while the manga dottore has no vision. Sort of like how albedo can do geo while susbedo can do cryo. Just a theory or idea for a reasoning to play dottore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder if the Tsaritsa is actually alive. What if she gave the Harbingers their mission and then died?

She could have another coffin covered in ice like Signora.

[@lolevy94]

I suspect Sandrone is a puppet herself a-la Bob as a sock puppet or remotely via a true puppetmaster. When Pierro gathers the other Harbingers to praise Snezhnaya, she’s the only one that visibly doesn’t close her eyes in respect. While this could’ve been a display of irreverence, an even odder thing she does is she blinks once during the bow as though she’s “pre-programmed” to have to regularly blink her eyes. Aster mentioning her Victorian doll aesthetic and showing her Commedia counterpart only further solidifies this speculation for me.
